Make linux(4) set openfiles soft resource limit to 1024 for Linux

behaviour.

trasz mentioned this in D22585: Limit openfiles-cur to 1024.

OK from manpages, with the usual .Dd bump when the commit happens.

I think I'm orders of magnitude more comfortable with this change; it does indeed seem quite reasonable to default Linux applications out with the limits they're likely expecting.
